From our crop reference
Fenugreek (Methi) is a vegetable crop, grown in the rabi season. Sow it in Oct–Nov and expect to harvest in 40–60 days. It wants a pH of 6.0–7.5 (close to neutral) and 15–25°C. Plant at 25 × 5 cm, allowing 25–30 kg of seed per hectare. A good crop returns around 8–12 t. Watch for powdery mildew, aphid.
